♥ Is your fabric stash taking over your sewing room? Let's all get organized and use up fabrics we have so we can buy more!

Count me in, but not until October. I've decided that September is "finish month" (again--so was January). I want to finish things I have started this year, and then I will spend Oct-Dec working on Christmas gifts, decorations, etc.
Maybe we should start a thread on what to make for teenagers, boys, guys, etc. Always so hard to figure out. I'd do a few quilts, but I want to start giving the grandkids quilts for birthdays, not Christmas.

What if you don't have any money and your hubby won't let you use the Visa? (He is so mean). :cry: :cry: :cry:

I was starting to do pretty good using the fabric I already have then I got addicted to the classifieds here on the board. Now I'm wondering where I'm going to put all that. I guess I'll have to put it under the sewing machine needle in a hurry so I can keep buying. :thumbup: My problem is when I get done with something it usually has someones name on it so there it goes.
Then Christmas comes and I have to make them something else. :thumbup:

I have been organizing my sewing room for a couple months straight. LOL. I keep looking at all of the neatly ironed and folded materials on the shelf and planning; then look at the seperate containers containing all the various sized squares I have cut and organized....want so badly to begin...but wait, I still have like 6 tubs to go through. Oh well I am at least in on the organizing, as soon as I am finished I will join the next part. It is great knowing so many others are doing this; it really is encouraging. Sorry, I got carried away........

Yep! I think I need to get FINISH Fever. If I organize without finishing stuff I lose things and end up more frustrated then when I start. Last week I finished 25 potholders and they are gone. So I can put away the leftovers. Now I have a baby quilt that needs to be sewn together, turned and tyed. Whats holding me back????? I think I am worried it won't turn out. Silly but true. :D Have a good day!

I'm in the process of cleaning my sewing room and just purchased a stack of large shoe box size plastic containers. While sorting, I plan to put fabrics that look good together in the boxes. This way, I'll already have fabrics together for different projects. I am trying to use only my stash until I have some empty spaces on my shelves.

We are in the process of moving. My new house will have a larger sewing room (room for my longarm). Hopefully I will have a completely reorganized sewing room soon. Then I must get started on my Christmas list. I don't suggest this as a way to get reorganized however.
